110 ViewsHanover, Germany — Continental reported stronger second-quarter results, driven by higher sales of premium tires, favorable raw-material prices, lower tariff and currency impacts, and continued cost controls. The Tires business posted an adjusted EBIT margin of 15.3%, exceeding the company’s full-year guidance, while ContiTech delivered a solid performance despite weak market conditions. Second-quarter sales fell 9.1% to €4.4 billion, largely due to the sale of the Original Equipment Solutions business in February. Adjusted operating profit rose 35.1% to €570 million, and the adjusted EBIT margin increased to 12.9% from 9.6%. Continental expects full-year sales from continuing operations of €13.2 billion to €14.2 billion and an adjusted EBIT margin of 12% to 13.5%.
